Hudson's Dog Population

At about this time last year, Gossips published the statistics for dogs licensed in the City of Hudson in 2013. Today, the city clerk's office provided the same information for 2014. The number of spayed female dogs and the number of unneutered male dogs both decreased, by 10 percent and 20 percent respectively.

• Exempt dogs (i.e. service dogs)  3  
• Spayed female dogs                    107  
• Unspayed female dogs                   8  
• Neutered male dogs                    115  
• Unneutered male dogs                 21  

The total number of dogs licensed in Hudson in 2013 was 266; in 2014, it was 254. It is not clear, however, if there were fewer dogs in Hudson in 2014 or if fewer people licensed their dogs in 2014.
